The PIB reality examine shared an X put up of District Collector & Magistrate, Jaipur, to verify that the photographs of explosions at Jaipur Airport being shared are deceptive. “This news is baseless and misleading. Jaipur airport is completely safe,” Jaipur District Collector mentioned in his put up.

Meanwhile, the PIB’s fact-checking unit, early Friday morning, debunked a broadly circulating video on social media claiming to turn Pakistani assaults on Hazira Port in Gujarat and a drone assault in Jalandhar.

The PIB mentioned the Hazira Port video is an unrelated video “confirmed to depict an oil tanker explosion”.

The pictures captures an oil tanker explosion that took place on July 7, 2021, and Pakistan is falsely propagating it as its assault at the port.

Another video claimed to turn the aftermath of a drone assault in Jalandhar. In a put up on X, PIB fact-check clarified that the video is unrelated and depicts a farm fireplace.

PIB’s put up mentioned, “Drone Attack in Jalandhar. This drone strike video from #Jalandhar is widely circulating on social media#PIBFactCheck This is an unrelated video of a farm fire. The video has the time 7:39 PM, while the drone attack began later.”

After India introduced its maximum expansive cross-border moves on terror bases in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and Pakistan, a flood of incorrect information and false propaganda is being peddled from around the border via its influencers and media, in addition to government-sponsored social media handles.

Several such movies have already been uncovered via the workforce of the PIB since India’s army motion in opposition to terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir started on May 7.

PIB has steered electorate to workout warning and test data sooner than sharing it on-line. “In times of heightened national security, misinformation can lead to unnecessary panic and confusion. Always rely on official sources for updates,” a PIB spokesperson mentioned.
